7.6

Apply a force to the node

dir

The force vector. The length of the vector determines the strength of the force.

duration = 0

The length of time that the force is applied to the node. A value of 0 means the force will be applied for one time step.

mode = viz.ABS_GLOBAL

One of the following modes:

Force modes
viz.ABS_GLOBAL	The force vector is specified in global coordinates
viz.ABS_LOCAL	The force vector is specified in the objects local coordinate system.

pos = None

The position from which the force will be applied. If this value is None, then the force will be applied on the center of mass of the object.

posMode = viz.ABS_GLOBAL

One of the following modes:

Position modes
viz.ABS_GLOBAL	The position is specified in global coordinates
viz.ABS_LOCAL	The position is specified in the objects local coordinate system.

This command has no effect if physics is not defined on the node.

None

box = viz.add('box.wrl')
box.collideBox()
box.applyForce( [0, 0, 10], .1, viz.ABS_GLOBAL, [0, 1, 1] )
